7 Something strange happens to me

Something strange happens to me

Wednesday came and I hadn't heard from her and I didn't see her on the bleachers either, this seemed to me like a kind of revenge, I was just waiting for some proctor to knock on the classroom door to deliver the thesis and I had to present a paper which I hadn't even read a page.

We were all in the classroom and suddenly she came in I felt a great relief she sat down next to me and said

I almost didn't make it

I replied

You got on my nerves I thought you would do me the evil of not coming and send in the thesis.

Well actually that's what you deserve, you didn't help me at all.

I didn't answer anything to her comment the teacher came in and started the thesis presentation and it was our turn and she took care of everything and we got the highest grade while the teacher was giving the conclusion of the class and the papers I turned to my classmate and said

And why didn't you come yesterday

She smiled without looking at me and answered

Did you miss me?

Of course not, how could you think of that?

Again there was silence but I decided to dare and I told her

How about if I invite you to breakfast?

She frowned and turned away.

Is that with me?

I smiled without looking at her and replied

Of course it's with you

I really owe this excellent grade to you because I didn't do anything so if you allow me I want to thank you with a nice breakfast.

I turned to see her and she turned to me

And I ask

And that insufferable boyfriend of yours and that crazy friend of yours, do you think they will let me sit with them? no, forget it, I'm sure I'll end up with a bad digestion.

We won't eat here

She said quizzically

And then where outside the school?

Except I don't know what you're going to date me with.

Your sudden kindness is terrifying

I genuinely want to thank you and get to know you, if you give me the chance I'll show you that I'm not as nefarious as I seem.

Will it be?

And how will we get out there is security at the entrance and besides this is so strange because outside

I told you I want to thank you and I'm not going to beg you either so tell me do you accept or not?

Well a good breakfast is not superfluous besides every morning I eat the same black coffee and muffins.

She turned around and looking at me a little bit doubtful she said

You know I accept I'm going to risk it but be careful it's a trap to get me expelled don't do something like that.

I smiled and continued listening to the rest of the class.

As soon as the class was over I handed her a paper with a note on it that said

Thank you for accepting my invitation, I'll wait for you in the parking lot.

And so I asked Abril to borrow her car and told her not to tell anyone that I was going out and that I would tell her later.

I waited inside Abril's car and when I saw her I changed the lights and she came closer she looked out the window and opened the door saying

And you can drive how old are you

I will be 17 this weekend

But you are under age how come you drive?

You don't worry I have it all figured out and security already knows that I will be leaving from the teacher's parking lot not the main parking lot.

Is the car yours?

It's not April's she's already 17 and her permit mine is just being processed but I'm telling you once and for all no one knows I'm with you don't comment on it promise.

Oh my God, I don't need to promise it, no one would believe me if I said it, everyone knows you hate me.

Ah well in that you're right

And if you hate me why are you inviting me?

No, not in that

No one would believe you if you said it so I don't care if you promise or not.

And we left the high school she asks

And how far is it to where we're going?

It's close, besides it's algebra and the teacher didn't show up today so we have an hour and a half.

I drive to Ricky's cafe, I usually go there with Abril, they sell delicious desserts and ice cream, it's very luxurious and discreet, as soon as we enter one of the waiters recognizes me.

Hello Miss Samantha how are you I have the ideal table for you discreetly on the second floor on the terrace.

We went upstairs and sat down we read the menu and she said

The truth is that I don't know anything on this menu and besides it is very expensive.

Don't worry about the price, I will prepare it myself, if you allow me, I can suggest the special waffles that go very well with orange juice.

She looked at me and said

There you go

I ordered the same for both of us and we talked.

So your mother died 5 years ago and you stayed with your father who is Japanese but has American papers and your mother was from France and you were born here.

Exactly

We finished our breakfast for dessert, I ordered a piece of chocolate macadamia cake and she ordered the biggest strawberries and cream, not to mention that I only had half of my breakfast and she ate all of hers plus the half I left.

I told her

I am amazed how you fit so much food and you have that great body I saw you in the mall.

She smiled and said

Oh don't exaggerate if I'm parched and reflaccid

No, I admit that you have a great body.

She suddenly extended her hand towards my face saying

Wait you're dripping with cream

She ran her finger across my lower lip and then sucked on it saying

Mmmm! That's good cream on your cake

The sun was beating down on us her eyes were even greener than usual she smiled and then subtly bit her lips I just stared at her lips as she bit them and then met her gaze and exclaimed with that weird stomach ache feeling I got when our gazes met.

God!!!! Don't do that

She smiled and asked

Do what?

That thing with your lips biting your lips

It looks very sexy

She smiled and I said

You know we didn't get a chance to get to know each other like we should have so

I extended my hand and said

Nice to meet you, my name is Samantha Broxon

She received my greeting by shaking my hand and without taking her eyes off of us she replied

Nice to meet you Gentile Andreine Leejam is my name.

Hahahahahaha we laughed and again our gazes crossed we stared at each other and all my thoughts were erased it was like being paralyzed it was a strange feeling something strange happened to me and I didn't know what it was.

She looked away from me and took some strawberries with cream from her glass and taking the spoon to my mouth she was saying

You know in the world that I come from poverty I only saw you in magazines and you are the dream of all those kids that study at Madison, of course because they don't know you, the truth is you are unbearable.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I opened my mouth I received the strawberry and I smiled and said

So I'm the dream of those who don't know me

Jajjajajajajajajajajajajajajajja we laughed together

I have a confession to make

I put my elbows up on the table and moved closer to her and said as I looked into her eyes

You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life, how come you are not a model or an actress?

She answered

Because I was born poor

We talked a lot and laughed and I loved the way she pushed her hair away from her face and we were running out of time because the man at the next table asked for the time God there were 5 minutes left to start the class and we were in a cafe that was more than 10 minutes away from the high school I paid quickly and we ran to the car I drove as fast as I could and with fear of being stopped by a patrol car thank God we arrived in 8 minutes we ran to the classroom I stopped so she could go in first and a minute later I went in luckily the teacher had not arrived yet.

April came up to me and I handed her the car key and she asked me

Hey where the hell did you go I was so scared I thought something happened to you because you didn't answer my calls.

You called me?

More than 8 times

I left my cell phone in the car

Ok but where were you

Here comes the teacher, I'll explain later

I turned around slyly and looked at Gentil I never forgot her name again she let out a sly smile and continued taking out her notebook.
